On a September morning in 2018, Erin Webb stepped onto a treadmill at her gym in Southern California with a tempo run planned and the Boston Marathon seven months away. Minutes later, she was in a hospital fighting for her life after a spontaneous brain hemorrhage - a bleed with no warning and no explanation.
What followed was the race she never trained for.
In Before Boston, Erin takes us through the terrifying weeks in the ICU, the long recovery at home, and the quiet but profound transformation that happened in the stillness - a deepening faith, a reordered set of priorities, and a hard look at the perfectionism and striving that had quietly crowded out everything that mattered most.
Seven months after her hemorrhage, she stood at the starting line in Boston. Not to prove something. Not to win. But as an act of gratitude for a second chance she almost didn't get.
Before Boston is a story about resilience, faith, and what happens when life forces you to stop running long enough to figure out why you were running in the first place.
